House
in Okurayama
This house stands on the hill. It is facing two roads on the south north
side in the site, which has an irregular shape. I feel there is no frontality
in this site where we can get an access to the station in the north side
and a car in the south side. In addition, the site offers a comfortable
distance from surroundings that distribute the small colonnade of cherry
blossoms and a line of green way on the two directions, southeast side across
the roads.
The house is structured with two steel pillars,
and a space under the second floor that works as big eaves establishes the
extended path of two roads as well as gradually brings visitors into the
house. A nice and quiet hall is situated at a mortar-shaped opening at the
back and all interior space radiate from there.
